Hateeee ittt

nickman · Jan 31, 2014

Just fitted a ktr style induction kit onto my 172 using a green filter and I can safely say I hate the induction noise that it makes which everyone seems to rave on about on her...I'll be reverting to the standard box with a panel filter sharpish.
On another note...
Anyone know how to fix the original like fabric piping it's started to unravel itself

Addicted · Jan 31, 2014

Why do you hate the noise?

It's an open-cone, they all make similar noises lol, what were you expecting?

Knuckles · Jan 31, 2014

You need a new cold air feed, standard ones are s**t.

Best not fit a exhaust then that'll sound a bit chav also!

That depends what exhaust you go for...
Like this induction noise depends what setup I go for...
And I'm just saying I don't like it and thought it would sound nicer considering everyone raves on about it....

So no

Induction > Exhaust. But then I come from a world of high revving ITB'd racing engines.

So You've got a clio sport (I assume) yet you don't like the induction noise because it sounds chavvy? The whole car is chavvy lol.

I have to disagree with you though, induction noise makes me go a bit cross eyed.

Knuckles · Jan 31, 2014

My car is all induction noise

When you say green filter is it a cheap eBay one?

Try fitting a Ramair foam filter instead.

Probably a green cotton universal type.

was going to fit my ktec tommorow, best put it up for sale I don't want that chav label :headno:

Use it as a fuel saving device. You hate the noise, so you'll go full throttle less, thus saving fuel

Fletcher · Jan 31, 2014

I like the sound my maxogen makes TBH.

And drifting too, no?

OP, I think you should buy a Yozza and put pops and bangs on.

I'm addicted to the noise, always chasing that first roar.

How isit chavvy? It's more refined than a saxo which I'd say is chavvy....

Maybe I should of

out comes the Burberry

It's just my opinion you may all like it...each to there own...maybe coupled with an exhaust it would sound better.

yeah ink mate, the chav thing makes me giggle, also you've not had it on long mabye it'll grow on you, also as above mabye try a foam one I'm not sure if there's any difference tbh

Well I didn't mean to offend anyone but it just sounds that way to me like someone's chucked a big chunky universal eBay job on there 1.2 just to make it sound like there going fast.
If there's no real advantages to having it apart from the noise(to some people) then I'll just revert to the original.
If anyone wants to buy it PM me

YO

Completely different sound to an open cone!!
The CDA filters are the only style that I like the sound of. My 172 had an open filter for about 2 days once I got it, as soon as I sourced a standard box it went on!!

Get a good enclosed filter so you're not just sucking in warm under bonnet air through a cold air feed, they sound much better!!
Edit:: IMO that is...

aucky · Feb 3, 2014

The CDA sounds great but it really feels like it strangles the power

Think OP is being a bit soft tbh lol, the noise they make is awesome even if it is chavvy.

I do occasionally watch old videos of it to remind of me Dat noiseeee.
